Just to give the supplement journos some new angles instead of their tired old cliches?

Hmm, shall we begin?

OK maybe there is a connection between being a high achiever and shit mother. But can't we celebrate em anyway? Just for the hell of it, like?

I'm intrigued about Barbara Hepworth. All I know is she had triplets and was a wonderful sculptor - what did she do to them? Or do I not want to know?

RiaParkinson · 10/02/2009 00:22

she already had one child when she fell pg with the 3
she did not know there were three until she delivered
not sure of the timescale but in their infancy she put the triplets in a childrens home where they remained - she visited de temps en temps

that's my understanding - sorry for precis it's late!

Mia Farrow?
